Forgive me for the lack of updates. I've relocated myself to New York for the week and it is absolutely beautiful up here. With temperatures in the 60s and a thick blanket of snow still covering much of the landscape, there's little looking forward to coming home on Saturday.

Tonight I was at a Mexican restaurant and went over to the bar for a few margaritas. When the bartender didn't card me I knew I'd be leaving a nicer tip than usual. It doesn't take much to mix drinks but it takes a little skill to know when someone's older than 21 without having to check the license.

The girl is absolutely gorgeous and we talked a good while as I downed my frozen drinks and chips. When I mentioned that I was visiting from out of town, she asked me to come back sometime before I left and told me she'd show me what New York has to offer outside the city.
